Configuring a Second cRIO

Hello all. We bought a second cRIO for testing, and we just got it all wired up. The problem I'm having is that we are using the same Driver Station that came with the control system back in September. When we start the benchtop test, both the "System" and "Mode" are "Invalid". I'm not sure what this means, but I have a sinking feeling that it means I have to buy a stock Driver Station to set up the cRIO. I hope this is not the case, so if anyone has any experience with setting up a second cRIO or knows how to resolve this, I would love some help. Thanks!

The benchtop test in OTB conditions isn't necessary, but rather a way for everyone to get familier with the new control system. Since this is your second system, you should have a level of confidence with it. If you image the cRIO to the latest firmware, you can just go on as you normally would.

Thanks for the info. For some reason I thought the bench-top tests were necessary. Thanks again!
